[QUOTE=menalaus]evans G2 coated on the toms with G1 resos, evans dry batter on the snare with a hazy 300 snare side, powerstroke 3 on the BD with a evans eq3 on the front. loving the sound of the whole kit[/QUOTE]

 

same exact set-up here as menalaus (except for on my snares depending on which one i'm using being that i currently have 6 to choose from ) i have found that this combination offers a great controlled but not choked out sound , and also not only has this combination worked great with my band i'm gigging with ,but really great in the studio as well

Hopefully I will venture into Swansea tomorrow and try and score some...will check finances first, I want to reskin the whole kit so it may as well happen at the same time (although the bass head can stay ).

What snare head should I get? I usually use a Genera HD (Dry - the ones with all the little holes) and it sound amazing!

Go to the site and look at the listings and his comparison chart...  they have a new one with a "flap" (here we go again)....

I actually switch brands very often.  It keeps me on my toes.  Helps you understand the variety of sounds your drumset can produce.

See, now that opens a new argument...is change good, or once you have found the sound that you are happy with should you stick?

See I belive that once you have found "your sound"  that you should stick with it.  Saying that also probably means staying with the same kit.  Because a change in drums will change your sound just like a change in heads will....  But that brings up the argument that it cost what $150 - $200 to completely change heads out on a 6 piece kit.  And you can do that how many times trying different combinations of heads?  I'd buy another Kit and set that up for another sound....

True.

Hence me counting my pennies for a complete new set...those 18" tom heads cost a bit

Now, should I change resonant heads with the batters - or leave them be...there seems to be life left in the old dogs...

[QUOTE=deltadrummer]Sam have you tried Aquarians?[/QUOTE]

i have never personally tried them on my kits ,but i have used them on in-studio kits before .. also a friend of mine loves them on his kit ( a tama starclassic kit ) but i have found that the evans heads work great on my toms being that i can get a very nice controlled and consistant sound on them .. (the old expression comes to mind " if it ain't broke why fix it " ? ) but i have a 9 ply maple custom built snare with vintage yamaha wooden hoops on it  that i had made for me and found that a remo fiberskyn 3 FA batter head sounds amazing on it .. i have allready had a half a dozen sound guys compliment me on this snares sound when they're dialing it in for the live mix at shows .. snares are i think a very tough decision because that is a prominent voice on almost every drummers kit, so it's all about what flava' you want . my snares are pretty much a " mixed bag" so to speak of heads on all of them to offer different voice options for live and in the studio ...

here's a link to a few pics of the custom snare set-up for the crowbar gig i played last month
